It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreThe Director Sanjay Gupta stays true to his mediocre staple of movies. Lot of pretension of being stylish in presentation and zero in screenplay, editing and overall content. By using fancy filters presenting Mumbai in green, dark shades throughout the movie, he may think he has delivered a great visual movie, but it is just plain distracting and repetitive. And all the weird camera angles like an amateur toying with cinematography. As usual, he also copies from a foreign movie, since he is no original. No problem. At least, he could have made a decent copy, since the story despite its inherent flaws had potential to be a decent suspense drama. But, he makes total mess of it. It is very poorly made, lacking any pull. The first half especially is boring, which is a shaming indictment for a suspense thriller.Another big let down is Aishwarya Rai. Her screeching acting makes one go for the FF button or flee from the theater. A better actress could have probably made this bad movie tolerable, but not so with Aishwarya. And her role is the heart of the movie. The only saving grace is Irfan Khan, who makes the proceeding bearable. Even Irfran something seems to be wondering what the hell he is doing in this crap movie with his dazed look. Another Stalwart, Shabana Azmi also finds herself in this sorry apology of movie, mouthing inane lines. Even she cannot redeem her poorly etched character. Despite its flaws,being partial to the Suspense thriller genre, i give this three stars.
... View MoreSpoiler alert.. You will want to spend some serious time and money to find the writers and the director of this abomination and have them executed for inflicting this violently painful collection of dialogs, scenes and music. I mean the reasons why I could hang on for the whole movie, is two fold..1) I liked the idea of visually filtering out the "real Mumbai" with some cross screen tint; and,2) I've never written a review before, on a movie, so I thought I should warn people of this, as a public service. I had to get through the whole movie, so that I could keep my enthusiasm to write this review.So enjoy! And share the hate!
... View MoreBefore I start off, let me state that I have mostly liked Sanjay Gupta's movies - Kaante, Zinda, Plan and even Musafir. I have also had Aishwarya Rai as my wallpaper for the longest time and even enjoyed her acting in Devdas. So I went in with a positive vibe. Half an hour into the movie I realized it one of those that people walk out of. Aishwarya has done the worst possible acting she possibly could have. Add to it her looks. It's like age or marriage or pregnancy - whatever it is - has taken her acting skills and looks to the dumps. The movie's script is full of holes, everything is illogical and stitched up, stereotypes abound and the courtroom drama and law is a mockery. The only thing this movie is worth for is Irfan and his one-liners and, of course, the never before aerial shots of Mumbai.
... View MoreIt's far more better than the mindless comedy movies that degrade women and showcase them as items. ..Aishwarya rai is gorgeous and ravishing she just steals the show her acting poweress was just superb lovely acting done by Irfan and Shabana Azmi...The thriller was too good...specially the climax just too good...Songs are a part of movie not a separate sequence in this movie...and a special mention Aishwarya Looked soo beautiful. The pairing of Aishwarya and Irfan is soo unique and fresh. The second half of the movie just picks up the pace and from there it's just soo engrossing and picks up the pace. Every actor in this movie has a gr8 part to showcase. The awesome court scenes are a treat to watch. In simple words just go and watch it u will not be disappointed.
